Another windy day here on the Cape! Is it my imagination or has there been more wind this summer than usual???

This season, I feel like I have had a lot of crappy rides home from offshore and a lot of days when my wife says "Oh no, we're not leaving the river today!" and I can't blame her really. When it's rough as hell out there, it sure ain't much fun is it?!

Guess those wind farmers know what the hell they're doing!

Sure wasn't a whole lot of fun out there yesterday. Pea Soup fog with a stiff wind at 6 AM. Took a beating but still managed some nice Fluke (10.6 lbs)
I was saying the same thing to my buddy on the way out about the wind this year.

Uffah thats exactly what I have been saying, Screwit I am going!! This morning fished Buzzards Bay for a couple hours decided to go to Cape Cod Bay went out to the fingers and did some trolling then headed back over to Buzzards Bay and fished somemore! Granted I was rolling around in 6' ers but I didnt have to contend with boat traffic and certaintly didnt have to worry about anyone in my spots.

Started out calm here till noon time!!

And sure enough, once we left the harbor with a charter, the seas began to build!! and build!!! from 1.5' to a 4-5' chop and it became very windy!!! We fished 2hrs. before one fella was over come with sea sickness,another almost goes overboard while relieving himself and that's when i called the trip off and headed in to port!!!

In that time we caught a dozen or so fish that went back into the water !!! They took home two nice stripers with one fish 42'' and weighing 22 lbs. at the dock!!!
